Abstract

Dependency starts as soon as life begins. Each and every person is dependent on someone or something arising out of need, love, respect etc. Being a new born child, one has to depend on parents for their physical needs. From the age of 5-20 years, children have to again depend upon them for their educational, medical and financial needs. One has to depend upon society for existence from all grounds. This dependency loop is the main source of life, which pushes people beyond boundaries with its brutal command and one has to obey the command with heads down in their entire life. One, who tries to revolt against their dependent authorities, life plays a cruel role in bringing them to their knees. The classic example arising out of blind belief and dependency is shown by writer Amitav Ghosh in his novel Sea of Poppies. It is not only that the poor people are subject to difficulties, the rich also come face to face with problems. When a rich person turns poor, the situation is more horrible and subject to many kind of harassments and one has to do many compromises in life. Deeti, one of the protagonist in the novel Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh, had surrendered her life to her husband and is dependent on him for herself and her daughter’s life. The death of her husband turns her life upside down. Neil Rattan Haldar, another protagonist in the novel The Sea of Poppies goes through such a tough time and struggles to come out of it. This research is an eye opener to people, who are living their life on dependency loop. Everyone have to become independent up to maximum extent and not blindly believe on anyone, even if they are their near and dear ones, like their family members or friends.
